To inspect the engine oil level:
• Start the engine and run at idle for
approximately five minutes. Stop the
engine and wait for at least three
minutes to allow the engine oil to
settle.
• Note the engine oil level visible in
the sight glass.
• When correct, engine oil should
be visible in the sight glass at a
point midway between the upper
(maximum) and lower (minimum)
markings on the sight glass.
Note
An accurate indication of the level of
engine oil in the engine is only shown
when the engine is at normal operating
temperature and the motorcycle is
upright (not on the side stand).
• If it is necessary to top off the
engine oil level, remove the filler
plug and add engine oil, a little at a
time, until the level registered in the
sight glass is correct.
Caution
Make sure no foreign matter or
contamination enters the engine
during an engine oil change or top off.
Contamination entering the engine
may lead to engine damage.
• Once the correct level is reached,
install and tighten the filler plug.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with
engine oil can lead to skin dryness,
irritation and dermatitis.
Used engine oil contains harmful
contamination that can lead to skin
cancer.
Always wear suitable protective
clothing and avoid skin contact with
used oil.
Warning
The oil may be hot to the touch.
Avoid contact with the hot oil by
wearing suitable protective clothing,
gloves, eye protection, etc.
Contact with hot oil may cause the
skin to be scalded or burned.
Warning
If the engine has recently been
running, the exhaust system will be
hot.
Before working on or near the exhaust
system, allow sufficient time for the
exhaust system to cool as touching
any part of a hot exhaust system
could cause burn injuries.
The engine oil and filter must be
replaced in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
